I wish I had read the reviews more closely. I also checked in late to find the lobby door locked. When I asked the woman whether or not this is a dangerous area, she responded that since they are in an alley (an alley!!) and have money that they lock the doors. Her cell phone rang and she actually went to pick it up. Then, as I walked to the (also locked) elevator, there was a drunken old man who couldn't get through the gated door because he was too wasted to find his card key. Definitely not a good first impression.

When I got to my room, I was extremely disappointed at how run down the room was. The wear and tear on the room was noticable and rings stained the countertop near the sink. Once I finally tried to settle down, the noise from outside was pretty loud that I could actually hear people's conversations.

I definitely would NOT bring anyone here - yuck!

Pros - location & breakfast
Cons - dirty, run down room; loud

I stayed at the Quality Inn Downtown Sacramento and the staff was very nice and helpful and the location was great. I had a confrence at the Convention Center and it was close enough to walk. They are in the middle of Downtown Sacramento so we walked to Old Town and the Govenors masion, I was very happy. And they let me keep my car there after I checked out until that evening because I had another confrence... I would definelty stay there again/

We actually booked a room here based on the majority of reviews for this hotel from tripadvisor. I am picky and critical when I spend my money somewhere and I figured the other bad reviews were too. So, we booked a one bedroom suite for 3 people and a baby. On the Quality Inn website, I was led to believe they had cribs so I requested a crib in the comments section when I booked the room. We got to the hotel and I asked about the crib, the desk clerk said they didn't have any cribs. I spent the rest of the night not sleeping well, worried that my one year old would fall out of bed.
The room itself was barely okay. The pull out couch felt like you were sitting on a rock, it was so hard. I don't have any comment on the pull out bed because when is a pull out bed EVER comfortable. There was only one television. I expected the room to have a telly but all there was room for was the queen bed and the two night stands. There was no heater in there and the parents ended up freezing all night.
The suite was not thoroughly cleaned before we got there and in one of the drawers, there was raisins sitting out. Fortunately, we found them before the baby did. YUCK!!
The location was good for us but the security measures needed did not make us feel like we were in a safe neighborhood.
For our second night in Sacramento, we ended up walking into the Clarion Mansion Inn and getting a room for the same price as Quality Inn.
I do not recommend Quality Inn and I don't think I will ever stay at one again. The Clarion is a sister hotel of Quality Inn and way better quality!

Good location, close to capitol.
Car wouldn't start--staff helped me jump start it.
Needed to park after 3pm--No Problem.
Breakfast--ample and delicious.
